Illinois HB3599 amends Medicaid reimbursement rules for ambulance services, ensuring providers receive full compensation under specific conditions.
HB3599 modifies the Illinois Public Aid Code to adjust Medicaid reimbursement for ambulance services. It ensures that ground ambulance service providers receive full payment for services when certain conditions are met, such as when a patient refuses transport after receiving advanced, intermediate, or basic life support, or when a patient is pronounced dead before being placed in an ambulance. The bill also mandates that reimbursement rates for ground and air ambulance services be increased to align with Medicare principles, subject to federal approval.
